Men Getting Their Hands Held on Idol

Affirmative American Idol Action:

"American Idol" turned into the battle of the divas last season. This year, male contestants are getting a little help.

In a bid to freshen the Fox series as it begins its fourth season Tuesday - and to even the playing field dominated in 2004 by female songbirds - half of the 24 semifinalist spots are promised to men.

--Oh come on!

1 As if it wasn't bad enough with George and John making the finals?!

2 Once again, I am with Iceman. The guys sucked last year. I am not a huge fan of country music, but Nashville Star kicks the pants off of AI when I come to true musical talent and technique. Plus, the first few rounds, the judges get to eject one of the contestants, which ensure the crappy ones who have a fan base continue on.

3 Once again, I agree with Chuck. I'm not much of a country music fan either (or, at all, really...) but I do like Nashville Star. It makes me cringe soemtimes, because its country music, but they mostly all have talent.

4 I'll have to agree that Nashville Star is better, and I'm not afraid to admit that I prefer country music to pre-fab pop crap like you hear on American Idol.
